This is a great scrub with great ingredients and a fruity pomegranite smell. It is abrasive enough to be an effective exfoliant, yet the sugar does not damage the skin. I think the fragrance is mostly from the natural ingredients because it smells very fruity, yet fragrance is the last ingredient on the list meaning there is very little. This works and does not irritate my super sensitive skin and the price is right. By the way, they changed the packaging. The tubes used to be hard plastic making it difficult to squeeze out, now it is a normal, soft plastic tube, making the product much easier to get out. I like the tube because it keeps the product and ingredients stable and keeps water out in the shower.

This is an awesome product that goes on silky, cool, and minty. It feels refreshing and moisturizing, then quickly dries to a powder that absorbs sweat and also deodorizes the feet. This is my summer must have for my feet. It keeps them looking, feeling, and smelling good.

This is a very moisturizing lotion containing beneficial ingredients at the top of the list and fragrance at the bottom. I do not care for the scent--it has a perfumy sweet frosting like smell. The price is right. This is a good lotion, but smell it before you decide to buy it.

This is a lotion lightly moisturizes and has the wonderful smell of grapes. It has some good benefical ingredients at the top of the list and fragrance is last on the list. It does not irriate my sensitive skin and the price is right. I would have given it a higher score, but question the toning claim.

This is a slippery moisturizing lotion with a pleasant, invigorating chamomile, mint scent. It is not as good as an oil for massaging, but is less messy. It definitely is not for those with sensitive skin. My guy loves this lotion. It is awesome for massaging feet--it is cooling and a bit deodorizing. The tube works well for the consistency and it is inexpensive.

This is a moisturizing body wash that lathers nicely and rinses cleanly with some good ingredients in it. It does have a light soapy fragrance that Dove calls "unscented". It is not overpowering and perfumy like Dove's other products and the fragrance is on the bottom of the ingredient list. This body wash is also pretty inexpensive. So far it has not irritated my skin.

The eye shadow is very long wearing, non-irritating, non-creasing, and non-flaking. It is easy to apply and goes on smoothly, but dries fast so you have to blend quickly. It lasts beautifully and comfortably all day even with teary, allergy eyes. It does make my lids a little dry though. I tried Sandy Gold and loved the color. It is a pale golden tan sprinkled with very, very fine shimmery particles that brightened my eyes but not enough to bring out wrinkles. The color was great and very versatile. It is expensive, but worth investing in one or two colors to use as a base for your other powder shadows.

I cannot rave enough about this shadow! First of all I love the packaging. It comes in a plastic case, inside which is a tube of shadow paint and a small brush applicator. You have to puncture a hole in the opening of the tube with the top of the cap ensuring that the product is fresh, clean, and not dried out. The shadow is not irriatating on my very sensitive eyelid skin. It goes on creamy smooth, with a slight shimmery sheen (a step above matte--enough to create beautiful depth, but not enough to highlight fine lines) and lasts all day. I was surprised at how pigmented it is. The color on the package is exactly the color that will show up on your lids--this is not a sheer product that you can blend out and build. You need to thinly apply it and then once it dries (quickly) you can apply a well pigmented powder shadow for your contour and to highlight your brow. I tried Nervy which is a taupe--it was a more dramatic color than I expected, but gorgeous. All of the colors are very flattering if they are as true as this one. Best of all, these are very inexpensive--I can buy 4 or 5 on sale (plus get $1 off coupon at the L'oreal website) for one expensive department store cream shadow for the same quality. Love it! Love it! Love it! I am going to go out an buy a couple more today!

This is the best thing you can do for your face in terms of anti-aging and maintaining healthy skin. You should use a sunscreen everyday whether or not your moisturizer or makeup contains spf because most women do not put on enough with their cosmetics. This sunscreen does not irritate even super sensitive allergy prone skin, is not greasy or heavy, does not cause acne, and it does not have a strong sunscreen smell, only very slight--it does not have added fragrance. The consistency is that of a very elegant light weigthless cream that absorbs quickly although it is a little pricey. It is nice for everyday so you don't have to go around smelling like a beach while still being protected.

I tried this cream and it was a little too rich for my combo dry skin. My skin is very sensitive and this seemed to make it a bit itchy. It is heavily perfumed with a fresh cucumber-green tea kind scent which is pleasant, but I suspect may be the culprit to my itching. I also do not like the fact that this product is in a clear jar which exposes the great antioxidants to sunlight and oxygen which render them useless=waste of money when you are only left with a plain old moisturizer. I also do not like jars because the creams get yucky and bacteria ridden from the oils from your fingers. I got this as a sample and would not buy this product, but the lotion may be a great alternative. At least the great ingredients you are paying for would remain stable and potent.
